I have tips listed in box 1 and 14 but not in box 7. Should I add it to box 7?

[LaShaunA3 · Accepted solution]

Follow these steps if you have tips listed in box 1 and 14, but not in box 7. These steps are from our help article, How do I enter tips in TurboTax online? You can view the article for more information on entering tips. 

You have tip amounts in Box 14

• Some employers may report qualified tips in Box 14 (Other) instead of Box 7.
• Enter your W-2, including exactly what appears in Box 14.
• After entering your W-2, look for the Review and complete your box 14 info screen.
• For the line with tips, select Reported tips (not railroad tips) from the list.

TurboTax will ask you a few questions about your tips, and automatically calculate the deduction if you qualify.
